Did the Suffragettes do more harm than good? 25 minute interview lesson

Powerpoint, accompanying worksheet for students to complete, evidence packs and a lesson plan for a 25 minute lesson for a mixed ability year 10 class, at the start of the their British History depth study. The class had not previously studied the suffrage movement, so this was intended to be an overview of the actions of the Suffragettes, the Suffragists and the actions of women during WWI, and was intended to help students to make an initial decision about which action was the most effective in women gaining the vote. For the lesson, I glued the evidence packs onto sugar paper and had students move round the packs of evidence after 5mins. I glued source C onto the back of the paper, as the intention was to use that source to challenge the most able students, encouraging them to analyse its provenance as well as its content.
